Exciting news from UK PonyCon yesterday: this October, the convention will welcome Kelly Sheridan as a special in-person guest! As many readers will recall, she was hoping to visit for UKPC 2020, but of course we all know what happened then, and circumstances including Canada's remaining Covid-related travel requirements did not allow her to come over for UKPC 2021. It's therefore really good to find out that that Ms Sheridan will be able to make it over this autumn.
This will be the first time ever that UKPC will have had an official MLP voice actor as an in-person guest. They've had other guests, such as musicians, authors and artists, but Kelly Sheridan is a first. Personally, I think she's an excellent choice, even apart from her thwarted intention to attend two years ago. By all accounts she's a very nice person, and – ideally for this multi-gen con – she has voiced characters in G1 (Melody in Tales), G3 (Cheerilee) and of course G4 (Starlight). I hope she finds UK PonyCon a really welcoming place to be.
I'd very much like to make it to Nottingham myself this year, especially as UKPC last October was a roaring success in ways that went beyond the understandable exultation at finally being able to go to a convention in person again. For various reasons attending UKPC isn't something I'm going to be able to commit to just yet, but the news about Kelly Sheridan's attendance is a real plus. It may be nearly six months off, but UK PonyCon is on its way – and at a rate of knots!
